    My Dear Son,

    …It is to bad you can't get enough to eat without going downtown and spending $1 for it. But then we might reasonably expect this condition of things after loosing your mother. For it used to be her whole thought "What would be nice for Walter." But what or how will you do if she stays here.

    She likes Barrow and we often go arround looking at nice houses that we think we would like to live in and own one for a home. Then we think awer money is all in America and left entirely to the discretion of others for investments. Besides it costs a little to transfer interest money about 80 cents on $22 and the most and greatest consideration to far away from awer boy.

    The meetings are fine here. Mr. Robbinson and a young man named Hughs spoke last night. The young man was about your age. And I thought how nice it would be if you was doing by your profession what was good for mankind now. And teaching him what was good for him in the future. Mr. Robbinson was simply grand. He is a very deep teacher.…

    Your affectionate Father
